Lonestar Sand

• Aqueous solution

• Calcium hydroxide

• Triton X-100, 2.56E-2 mol/L (<CMC)

• Triton X-100, 1.53E-1 mol/L (<CMC)

• Triton X-100, 1.02 mol/L (>CMC)

As increasing concentrations are introduced, the surfactant begins to attach onto the sand particle and form a hydrophobic shell. The wetability of the particle decreases and aggregates begin to form.
